[Milsurplus] WWII Equipment Wiring

Early "teflon"?The Germans were good at synthetic materials I think.

For what it's worth, soon after WWII ended I was 
stationed in Berlin, and we soldering iron types would 
take the wiring out of large German anti-aircraft guns 
and use it for hook-up wire. All of it was bright yellow, 
about AWG 16 stranded, and the insulation was not 
effected by heat when soldering. No shrinkage, no 
discoloring. (Anyone else encounter this wire?) Never 
saw anything like that in all these years since. Trivia.
